Ophelia's Weakening Impact: Coastal Flooding, Heavy Rain, and Power Outages
TL;DR Summary
Even after being downgraded from a tropical storm, Ophelia continues to pose a risk of coastal flooding, heavy rain, and dangerous surf conditions along the Northeast coast of the US. Swells generated by the storm are expected to affect the region, causing life-threatening waves and rip currents. Ophelia is also forecasted to drop additional rainfall over parts of the Mid-Atlantic and New England, potentially leading to isolated river flooding. Meanwhile, a new tropical storm named Philippe has formed in the Atlantic.
